Stony Brook Meeting House and Cemetery

The stone structure features a traditional rectangular design with simple architectural elements and large windows that illuminate the interior meeting space.

In 1709, Benjamin Clark provided nine acres of land to Richard Stockton and others to establish a Friends meeting house and burial ground.

The cemetery reflects Quaker values through minimal grave markers, emphasizing the belief in simplicity and equality among all community members.

The Princeton Monthly Meeting holds worship services in the meeting house every Sunday at 9:00 and 11:00 in the morning.

The cemetery contains the remains of Richard Stockton, who signed the Declaration of Independence, and Charles Smith Olden, former New Jersey Governor.
